Why did the media spread falsehoods about those pro-Chappelle counter-protesters?
On Wednesday staff at Netflix walked out in protest against Dave Chappelle’s new Netflix special, The Closer, which they claim is transphobic. This attempt on the part of Netflix employees and others to censor the streaming giant’s output was worrying. But so was what happened next.
Protesters were standing outside Netflix’s offices in Los Gatos, California, busily complaining about Chappelle’s supposed bigotry, when they were joined by some unexpected guests. Comedians Vito Gesualdi and Dick Masterson turned up with placards that read ‘Jokes are funny’ and ‘We like Dave’.
